SHANGHAI (China Daily/ANN): Celebrating its first anniversary, Lingang Special Area - a recent expansion of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone - will play an unparalleled role in facilitating the country's dual circulation development pattern in which domestic and external demands complement one another, said experts.

"When facing the domestic market, Lingang can lead the country's industrial reform and upgrading. In terms of the complete dual circulation, Lingang can enhance efficiency to link Chinese domestic demand with overseas markets," said Zhu Min, deputy director of the Shanghai Development and Reform Commission, at a news conference on Aug 13.
